During this crucial period the Germans had their only chance to push back the Allied invasion before the preponderance of Allied men and material made the outcome certain. During this period, the U.S. 1st Army fought across the Cotentin Peninsula and captured the major port of Cherbourg while British forces took on the bulk of of the German panzer divisions near Caen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game uses a simplified Ardennes '44 system: Move, Fight and Reserve Movement. All non-tank battalion units are rated for Troop Quality, while all armor units have a Tank Rating. In each battle these ratings are used to provide shifts for either the attacker or defender. Other important shifts are provided by air power, naval support, artillery and\/or Tiger tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game includes a 22 turn Campaign game, a 7-turn Tournament Scenario that focuses on the Allies linking up the beaches, and a scenario covering the battle in the peninsula and the capture of Cherbourg. In addition, there are rules for allowing 3 or even 4 players to play the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame Scale:\u003cbr\u003eTurn: 1 day\u003cbr\u003eMap: approx 2.3 miles \/3.8 km per hex\u003cbr\u003eUnit: Battalions to Brigades\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame Contents:\u003cbr\u003eOne 22 x 34\" map\u003cbr\u003eTwo countersheets (456 9\/16\" dual-side printed counters)\u003cbr\u003eOne 32 page rulebook\u003cbr\u003eTwo Combat \u0026amp; Terrain Player Aid Cards (2 sided)\u003cbr\u003eFour Set-up\/Reinforcement Cards (three 1-sided, one 2-sided)\u003cbr\u003eOne 6-sided dice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplexity: low to intermediate\u003cbr\u003ePlaying Time: 4 - 10 hours\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46447453667362,"sku":"102497","price":59.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/2035\/9714\/files\/pic766300.jpg?v=1787244518","url":"https:\/\/www.gameshack.ca\/products\/bg-normandy-44-102497","provider":"Game Shack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
